Ohio State's Will Howard seemingly wills Steelers into drafting him

Will Howard fell a bit further than some might have expected in the 2025 NFL Draft, but the former Ohio State quarterback might have manifested his landing spot before the Pittsburgh Steelers took him in the sixth round.

In a clip shared by the NFL previewing the next episode of "Hey Rookie: Welcome to the NFL," Howard pleaded for the Steelers to select him as he watched the final rounds of the draft with family and friends.

"Please pick me, please," Howard said in the clip. "Please pick me, Pittsburgh."

The next shot of the edited clip shows Howard getting a phone call from the Steelers, informing him that Pittsburgh is drafting him with the 185th overall pick.

"Are you ready to be a Steeler?" an unidentified member of the Steelers' organization asked Howard.

"F-----g right, man," Howard said with a grin as he slapped the tabletop next to him in excitement. "Let's go!"

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin eventually took the phone to chat with Howard. 

"I'm doing great, coach," Howard replied when Tomlin asked how he was doing. "How are you?"

"Hey, man. Congratulations, man, to you," Tomlin told Howard. "You deserve it, man. To your family, you guys enjoy it today."

Howard, who grew up in the Philadelphia suburb of Downingtown, Pennsylvania, told Tomlin that his family was set to change their NFL allegiance. 

"All Eagles fans, but now they're gonna be some damn Steelers fans in this world," Howard said with a laugh while his family applauded around him.

When the pick was officially announced on the broadcast of the draft, Howard got emotional. He teared up as he hugged his mother, Maureen. A few moments later, he and the rest of his family ran to the backyard and jumped into their pool in excitement.
